Three layered optimizations targeting Gemini-style 5MB base64 payloads where
RSS could balloon to tens of GB under concurrent load:
1. Byte-based param override (relay/common/override.go)
- Switch legacy/operations hot paths from common.Marshal round-trips and
map[string]any conversions to gjson/sjson on []byte directly.
- Avoids cloning 5MB strings during each Set/Delete operation.
2. strings.Builder for Gemini response markdown (relay/channel/gemini/relay-gemini.go)
- Replace string concatenation + strings.Join when assembling
"" content for inline image responses.
- Pre-allocates capacity from inline_data byte sizes.
3. Outbound BodyStorage + streaming Decoder (this commit's core)
- New relay/common/outbound_body.go helper wraps marshaled upstream bodies
in common.BodyStorage, allowing disk-cache mode to offload jsonData to
a temp file while waiting for upstream TTFB. The original []byte can
then be GC'd, removing ~5MB/req of heap residency during the longest
window of a request.
- All 7 relay handlers (gemini/claude/responses/embedding/image/compatible/
rerank) plus chat_completions_via_responses adopt the helper with
defer closer.Close() and explicit jsonData = nil.
- relay/common/relay_info.go: new UpstreamRequestBodySize so
relay/channel/api_request.go can populate req.ContentLength (lost when
body becomes a type-erased io.Reader).
- common/gin.go UnmarshalBodyReusable: when storage is disk-backed and
content-type is JSON, decode via DecodeJson(storage) instead of
storage.Bytes()+Unmarshal, removing one transient 5MB copy per request.
memory mode and form/multipart paths unchanged.
- Added support for tiered billing expressions in the billing system.
- Introduced new types and functions for handling billing expressions, including caching and execution.
- Updated existing billing logic to accommodate tiered billing scenarios.
- Enhanced request handling to support incoming billing expression requests.
- Added tests for tiered billing functionality to ensure correctness.
